Hi all - I’m new to the forum and grateful to have found you. I’m hoping to get some advice. Passenger door window on my 55 Reg B6 doesn’t move up or down. (securely stuck in up position) There is power to the motor from driver and passenger door switches as heard by the “click” when pressed. My suspicions are that it is the motor that is faulty and not anything to do with the tracking, cables or regulator. Question:- Can I replace the motor in its place without having to remove the whole metal panel and its components. Are there any risks to the window dropping / smashing if I remove the motor without securing the window first. Any other things I should look out for? Any advice would be appreciated.

PGP started following 2012 Touran fan switch
-
Hi, Can anyone offer advice on how to sort out a problem with our cabin fan switch. We have had our Touran since 2012 when I retired, we have done a lot of miles touring in it, and it's been fantastic. We have always had it serviced by the main dealer and had them sort out any niggles. As it is getting a bit old we have decided that the main dealer prices are a bit disproportionate to its value now but it has developed a fault which I suspect may be a main dealer job and would like a bit of advice before splashing out for that. The cabin fan switch is only working on #3 and #4. If the switch is just a direct line to the fan with different resisters for each setting then I assume that the resisters in the #1 and #2 circuit have failed. Simple as that may sound I suspect with the main dealer that will be the complete removal of all the consul and the complete replacement of the heater consul along with a hefty bill. I have checked fuses are OK. I can't see the relay for the fan as that appears to be hidden somewhere behind the console panels but I am assuming that if it works on 3 and 4 its not going to be either of those anyway. I am fairly competent with a soldering iron and a wood saw but taking cars apart has never been my thing and I have never tried to take a console apart. So my question is, Is there an easy fix for this? One that doesn't involve taking the cabin apart. Or, is this a job I should be able to get something like Kwik-Fit or a local garage to do. All the Best Peter

2017 VW Passat Estate R-Line 2.0 TSI / DSG - Japanese Import
Brown90 replied to Brown90's topic in Volkswagen Passat Club
Hi All After correspondence with various VW UK dealerships, VW UK customer service, VW Germany customer service... they half committed to a response that the infotainment system (MIB2 unit) is regionally specific to Japan and therefore VW UK may struggle to connect or diagnose faults with it. Multiple dealerships would not even allow me to make a diagnostic booking with them just to see what they could/couldn't scan successfully. VW 'type approval' eventually said they 'should' be able to connect to our vehicle with ODIS, but because it wasn't originally built for the UK market, their VMS (Vehicle Management System) may not find the registration number or VIN and they confirmed the concern about the infotainment system. VW confirmed they have no internal process to swap the car to the UK region, no comparison documents to highlight key differences, and no retrofit solutions to align it to a Passat built for the UK market. Literally zero interest from anyone at VW. It appears that everything I've received from VW though is backwards/nonsense. As I have found independent specialists (such as ADS in Preston) who can connect to all components in the car without any problem at all. They have worked on imported cars before and have the same level of ODIS software as VW UK, as well as VCDS (Ross Tech). The only difference between the UK and Jap Passat seems to be the MIB2 unit (No DAB), and obviously no DAB antenna. For DAB that I can get via my phone on android auto, it isn't worth swapping the MIB2 unit and having a DAB antenna installed (but its possible) I had an interim service and full inspection at ADS, they confirmed the car is in pristine condition (even underneath, due to the anti corrosion treatments the cars have in Japan) so I have peace of mind now that our vehicle can be supported at last! I hope some of this information helps someone else researching about buying a VW from Japan! Tom -
Magnetic car side door protectors
Volkswagen Owners Club replied to Jude TO's topic in Volkswagen Golf Club
not tried them but would imagine any protection is better than nothing especially in supermarket car parts If you do get some and try it out then do let us know how you get on with it -

Hi, does anyone have experience of using these please? My brand new Golf got 'dinged' on its very first outing in a public car park and I don't want to have to keep getting a 'paintless repair' done each time this happens - as it surely will over time!

I had it towed back to him yesterday. Sorry if I sounded like I was badmouthing him, it was not intended to be that way. I truly am just looking for any suggestions that I can get. It scared me as I have my grandbabies in my car a lot. Thank you for the response.

Hi all, I have bitten the bullet and updated my Golf Mk 7 with a highline reversing camera as a Christmas project and I have fallen foul of the onscreen Park Assist/PDC not working when the sensors are triggerd or from the button unless I set the camera as a lowline losing the extra views. I know it's not a huge deal but my OCD has kicked it..... From what I understand, the gateway module firmware needs updating from the current 5Q0 907 530 AC to 5Q0 907 530 AM. I have spoken to a couple of independent garages with ODIS access who shared horror stories of the ODIS connection working, going through the motions but not doing the update. Eventually it turned out that VW are blocking firmware updates. VCP was mentioned as an alternative - can anybody recommend somebody with VCP close (ish) to Cambridgeshire in the UK? Preferably with some experience in firmware updates as I understand that the parameters may need to be reset. Thanks in advance :-)

I would be tempted to return it to the mechanic that originally replaced the timing chain and give them a chance to review their work as it may be possible something has not gone back correctly when reassembling. The fact that the engine is running is a good sign that it is not timing chain related (we hope) but more anciliary items such as Air Conditioning pump or drivebelt that is too loose/tight, loose pipe(s)....worth checking the obvious stuff first which may be easy to resolve

VWgirl started following Turbo problems
-
I just recently had my timing chain and turbo replaced on my 2016 VW Golf SuperSport. Used an independent mechanic and not the dealership. After getting it back, the engine makes a loud screeching noise when I open the hood, doors, trunk and start the car. Sounds like something is trying to cycle but is getting stuck. Acc light and EPC lights are on. Today I noticed that my gas mileage is very poor and after driving it for a long period of time, I had white smoke coming from the engine. I had it towed back to the mechanic. Any input on solutions, other than getting a new mechanic. Feeling a little sick to my stomach after paying a lot of money to have it fixed. 2025-01-04 15.27.53.mov 2025-01-04 16.02.58.mov

SHARAN 2012 highline battery drain; CAN Gateway ?
Aaron1875 posted a topic in Volkswagen Sharan Club
Hi all, I have SHARAN highline Jap import, that developed a recent battery drain. Had it a few years but this fault recently manifested. It has an aftermarket ESSGOO android double din head unit, which came with vehicle. I have double checked it is correctly installed. All functions work Inc mfsw steering wheel, Park assist, doors opening reverse camera. A can bus adapter is fitted which I'm assuming is working correctly because it allows headunit to communicate with car and perform afore mentioned functions. The permanent and switched live all correspond with OEM quadlock. The head unit will turn on and off with ignition. The head unit completely powers down with ignition and I can see the sleep mode close down fully when unit powers down. I have double checked the latter using a multi meter on the quadlock plug and the corresponding plug to the head unit. The switched live feed turns off when ignition is switched off. I have checked the battery draw from negative lead and its 0.3 Amps, even after half hour. I also completed a voltage drop test across all fuses but this did not reveal anything significant. I reverted to putting car in sleep mode and latching bonnet and front doors, waited 30minsl and pulled fuses one by one. The only significant drop was from F11 5 amp in engine bay fuse box, its for the Databus / CAN Gateway. The draw goes down to 0.06 A or 60ma. VCDS fault codes in CAN Gateway indicate 1. No signal Radio communication and 2. Battery regulation module No communication. I have disconnected the battery module plug on negative lead cos it's faulty-I read that it has a negligible effect and does not trigger a draw. I even unchecked the Radio 56 and Battery regulation 61 from Can Gateway installation list, so the CAN Gateway doesn't look for them and can enter sleep mode. However no joy, the Canbus databus fuse still shows its awake indicating 0.3 A draw. I even disconnected the head unit and double checked can gateway installation list that Radio was unchecked, and cycled ignition and rechecked the draw, but alas still 0.3 Amp draw at fuse ? Could this be a faulty CAN GATEWAY, anyone had similar experience ? See Autoscan, this with the Radio 56 and Battery regulation unchecked from can gateway installation list. I get an error code CAN Gateway incorrectly coded, despite the coding being accepted by the controller when I press 'Write coding'. If I recheck and code Radio and Battery regulation back in the installation list, it reverts back to fault code 'No Radio' 'No Battery Regulation communication'.

Not sure if these are the ones you are looking for, certainly cheap enough https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2499334.m570.l1313&_nkw=volkswagen+undertray+clips&_sacat=0

Hi Please can anyone suggest an alternative to the Febi Bilstein retaining clips/ flat steel nuts that used to hold the under tray on to my Blue Gt? They are made of spring steel and have disintegrated over time. I dont really want to replace them like for like as they are expensive and the same thing will happen again. Thanks

How have you managed to get on with it now its been a few weeks? -
Hi Tom Thanks for posting your informative write up on your experiences with an imported car, interesting read and quite a lot of information I wasn't previously aware of. In regards to the DAB radio, here is one you could consider from a UK company https://www.iceboxauto.com/vw-passat-2013-17-gps-navi-android-11-carplay-oem-style-radio-vw105 Good luck with it all and please let us know how you get on

Not sure of specific makes and models but there are bluetooth versions I believe that are wireless so less intrusive to the vehicle electronics -

Just bought car and would like to retro fit a reversing camera which would work using existing screens etc. Would prefer to have it fit professionally, but open to options. Looking online leads one to various options, separate camera above licence plate, or, in the tail gate boot opener. Advices please🤔🤔 wgg

Hi All Newbie here…Thought I would share our experience so far of buying a 2017 VW Passat Estate (B8) R-Line 2.0 TSI (217bhp) / DSG, imported from Japan. I posted the full story over in the Passat Forum. Cheers Tom

Hi All Newbie here…Thought I would share our experience so far of buying a 2017 VW Passat Estate (B8) R-Line 2.0 TSI (217bhp) / DSG, imported from Japan. The car is in immaculate condition and the 2.0 TSI petrol combined with the DSG is so smooth and powerful. The level of tech is luxury, full digital cockpit, full leather, fully electric/heated front seats (driver seat with memory function and massage function), reverse camera, lane assist, park assist, cruise control down to 0mph + restart in traffic, electric tailgate, blind spot detection, apple/android connection. We purchased from a company near Chester who specialise in parallel (unmodified) imports from Japan. All import paperwork and costs etc were taken care of by them. Including the UK IVA (Individual Vehicle Approval) test to ensure all parts on the vehicle have EU part numbers, as well as MOT & DVLA registration etc. We happened to buy the car almost as soon as it arrived in the UK, unfortunately at this stage the timescale of being able to drive the car away was a guess at best. The IVA test availability was around a 4 week wait. Once the IVA was passed the dealership registered the car with the DVLA for the first time to get the V5 and registration plate which took around a week, and then once the DVLA issued the registration plate it took another week before insurance companies could find the registration plate on their systems (they would build insurance quotes manually from the chassis number, but wouldn't allow me to purchase the insurance until they could confirm the reg plate). We eventually insured through Churchills at a reasonable price. It took around 6 weeks in total for us (I'd say this could be quicker/slower by +-2 weeks depending on IVA test cancellations and the DVLA delays). It also depends at which stage you buy the car of course, as soon as the dealership gets the car they will start the process regardless! Vehicles imported from Japan are not required to pay UK road tax on emissions levels from what I understand, but on engine size/fuel type. Ours was £345. A couple of things I wish I knew more about beforehand. 1. Importing a car from Japan will usually mean there is some form of ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) / DSRC (Dedicated Short-Range Communications) device installed for Japanese toll roads. The card reader was in the glovebox and was removed by the dealership, however there is a small scanner device at the top/inside of the windscreen with a flat ribbon cable connected to it (almost invisible due to it being behind the rear-view mirror when sat in the driver seat). I've asked the dealership if this can also be removed, to avoid any potential issue from AutoGlass etc refusing to touch it in the event I need a new windscreen. 2. Importing a car from Japan means no DAB radio (Japan don't have it, apparently it’s because DAB operates on the same frequency as the scanners/toll roads), and for some reason it has limited FM stations. The MIB2 unit in the glovebox (for the Discover Pro Navigation) does not have the DAB hardware, as well as the antenna being only AM/FM. I was unaware of this and never thought to ask/check with the car having so much tech! I feel that the dealership should really have mentioned it as a characteristic of a Japanese import. I am looking at DAB apps to use via the Apple/Android connection, no big deal but a bit disappointed. If I'd have known this next point, I wouldn't have purchased the car. Advice welcome please! I called VW in Wigan to ask about the possibility of a DAB upgrade, I was met with a pretty firm answer from an aftersales manager of +20 years that VW UK could not connect their diagnostic systems to a car that wasn't originally built for the UK market. The VIN number will apparently always be linked to Japan (ASIA Region) and ANY service or repair work that requires plugging in will NOT BE POSSIBLE by a VW main dealership. I have contacted numerous VW dealerships now as well as customer support, they either don't know or take some sort of a guess but can't say for certain either way. The guy at VW in Wigan was so sure this was correct, he wouldn't even entertain me bringing it down for them to plug it in. It appears that the ‘ODIS’ software (Offboard Diagnostic Information System) that VW use may only be able to access VIN numbers that are registered internally by VW to the UK. So many parts on a vehicle must be coded to the ECU/VIN of the vehicle, I don’t understand how private dealerships can import a VW to the UK that VW UK can’t support. The dealership I purchased from are only offering lip service about any future issues with coded parts on the car, and won't offer anything in writing from their conversations with VW who said they would 'happily work on our car'. Does anyone know if there is some solution to swap the VIN Region from ASIA to UK to allow VW to support imported cars that meet all UK specifications? Don’t get me wrong, I avoid main dealerships because of the extremely overpriced labour rate they charge, and I understand there are independent garages out there that do VW retrofits and coding, but if all else fails I want the option to take it to VW and let them open my wallet for a quick solution.
